LinkedIn: Please allow users to change the default profile language.

LinkedIn: Please allow users to change the default profile language.

The Issue

We live in an international, interconnected world. People no longer merely do business across language barriers; they move across them, too. The professional network LinkedIn has recognized the former by allowing its users to set up connected profiles in multiple languages. Yet there is no way to change which profile language is the default. LinkedIn having become an invaluable tool for finding employ overseas, this is anachronistic and needlessly puts international movers at a disadvantage. Despite this and the apparent ease of allowing such changes in a system that already accounts for multiple profiles, LinkedIn representatives have consistently told their customers that no such feature is planned.
